You can use Debian for a small gnome based OS.

First, go here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-debian-lenny

to get familiar with the Debian installation steps. Read down to where
the instructions say

"Select Desktop environment and Standard system on the Software
selection screen and hit Continue:"

and then follow the instructions on this page:
